In today’s beauty and wellness industry, the phrase “medical esthetics” often appears on social media, marketing materials, and even school brochures. It sounds impressive — but here’s the truth: there is no such official title or license as “Medical Esthetician.”
At Chic Image Academy, we believe in teaching excellence with integrity. That’s why our signature program is proudly called Advanced Clinical Aesthetics, not “medical esthetics.” We combine high-level education, global standards, and ethical training to ensure our students succeed within their LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE — while standing out for their professionalism and clinical skill.
🌿 The Truth: “Medical Esthetician” Is Not a Legal Title
-
- Mislead clients about your credentials or scope of practice.
- Violate advertising and state regulatory laws.
- Undermine professional trust in the industry.
💎 The Ethical Alternative: Advanced Clinical Aesthetics
At Chic Image Academy, we set a higher standard. Our Advanced Clinical Aesthetics Program bridges the gap between traditional esthetics and the modern medical-spa environment — without crossing legal or ethical boundaries.
We train our students to perform clinical-grade, results-driven treatments within the LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE, blending scientific understanding with artistry, precision, and integrity.
This is why our curriculum emphasizes Advanced Clinical Aesthetics rather than “medical esthetics” — it’s accurate, ethical, and recognized globally as the proper distinction between esthetic and medical practice.
